Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?
2020 was... truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn't get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.
My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I'm going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I'm done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I'm gonna do my best to fight that.
Countries don't just let you live there unless you're an awesome doctor or engineer etc. Anyone worth accepting already knows that.
All the other Americans who think they will just move to Canada are in for one hell of a surprise eventually. They'd probably try to do more to fix things here in the US if they understood that.
I can get Canadian citizenship and my wife can get Irish citizenship. Hope it doesn't come to that, but the crazy people here scare me, and they're going to pull some wild shit no matter the outcome...
